[jira] [Commented] (MATH-730) Add uniform distributions (integer and real)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-730?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13179409#comment-13179409 ] 

Dennis Hendriks commented on MATH-730:
--------------------------------------

I was rather puzzled when I found out that uniform distributions were not available, while they are so trivial, as they correspond very closely to the underlying random number generators. I don't know if these distributions will be used very often, but I think they should be included in Commons Math, even if it is just for completeness sake.

I actually needed these for my own application, but decided to put in a bit more effort and make them Commons Math compatible, so that others may benefit from my work. What do you think, could they be included?
